Hard boiled Private eye set in Sydney; first in great series 4 Dec 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

For fans of Chandler and Hammett, here is a contemporary writer who is a worthy follower. "The Dying Trade" is the first in a 20+ series featuring Sydney, Australia, private detective Cliff Hardy, who observes the wealthy and the underworld with humourous.

All of the series entries are very good; this first is excellent.

Although you can certainly love the book without knowing Sydney, those who have been will enjoy Corris' excellent sense of place. I like mysteries as, among other things, a substitute for travel, and this one will bring you down under.

Cliff Hardy's debut 16 Feb 2010

By D. R. M. - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you're a fan of hard-boiled PI stories--think Spenser and Travis McGee--and you don't know Australia's Cliff Hardy... Well, you're in for a treat. Peter Corris has written over 30 of these tough, gritty Cliff Hardy adventures and they just get better and better. This debut story is actually one of the weaker ones. But if you want to begin at the beginning, this is it. The books are generally available only in Australian editions, but they can all be tracked down on Amazon or other book seller sites.

Fast, lean, no cheap plot devices. 20 Aug 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Great collection. The nice thing about Corris is he uses hisspare style with aplomb. The details are used to just the rightaffect. His series isn't much on violence either. Often he's just looking for missing persons and not tripping over corpses.
